 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have had over 14 years of advice from Mick and now Dan, so this is very much a long term review. The level of personal service and tailored advice has made all the difference to our finances both now and in the future. When personal circumstances change you need to have resilience and flexibility built into your plans and I can honestly say that I am so much better off now than if I hadn’t been introduced all those years ago.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Pentins Financial Planners have been brilliant. They have helped sort out my private pensions and we have planned for my future pensionable years. I now feel secure. Dan, Mick, Gemma and the team are terrific and the best bit of all -  we can make changes at any time for those unexpected occasions.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been using Pentins Financial Planners for quite some years now, but never has there advice and guidance been more beneficial for me than since my father passed a few years ago. They have been great and their advice and help has been invaluable. I highly recommend this company, and Dan and Mick and Gemma particularly.

Me and my husband met with Daniel Parry.He is very knowledgeable and we felt very comfortable asking questions that we had.we have never invested before so are questions were very much probably what others may already have known.
All stages were explained to us in simple terms and we really trust in Dan and know we can contact him with any questions in the future.
